Zelensky responded to the Russian strike on Pryluky that killed three people. A rescuer lost his wife, daughter, and one-year-old grandson when a Shahed drone hit his own home. "This is already the 632nd child killed in the war," he said, urging action from the U.S., Europe, and the world.

An Idaho bill that the governor has signed into law expanded the state’s indecent exposure law "to punish one who similarly displays 'toys or products intended to resemble' male or female private parts. Apparently the result is to ban "truck nuts." [@loweringthebar.bsky.social]

Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

I know, it's just a given, but it's nonetheless remarkable that the majority of Congress has zero interest in this or any of the other instances in which recently-teenage freaks have been put in charge of federal government operations. Not even interested enough to post mild criticism. Zilch.

Excellent sound editing choices! Below is a really great loving cover of the Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way" by author and wit John Scalzi, who I had no idea was also a stone chill rocker and a great singer! I had to hear for myself the extraneous intakes. Enjoy! whatever.scalzi.com/2023/07/29/a...

Trying to reconcile how all positive change had to be incremental, studied in perpetuity & ultimately stalled with ‘how are we gonna pay for that?’ but dismantling everything was done quickly, ham-fistedly & with total disregard for cost of money and lives & no institutional guardrails mattered.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Rivian's front window sun shade is a very poor design. On the first warm day of spring, the glue on the 3 oval velcro tabs gave way. Every other user of velcro for the last 40 years has sewn a square of velcro onto the attaching portion.

@thebulwark.com Hi! You guys should clip these callouts to @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social. They appeal to the audience to consider her an expert on what needs to happen for the Democratic party. They're very positive and this guy could become very interesting. Thanks for all you do.

A Marine's Case Against MAGA. Excellent interview by Bill Kristol of former Republican house candidate Michael Wood who is now considering a run for Texas senator. He calls out @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social twice in glowing terms. Time stamps in the pics. Great video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0iVz...

Michigan: Slotkin just put the crypto industry over you. She voted for billionaire interests peddling grift and exploitation while the rest of us drown. Every Dem on this list doesn’t deserve another cent from you (let them hit up crypto for it), and they are part of the problem

Excellent piece on how using economic policy in Republican districts to create bipartisan support is no longer a rational strategy. They have to tear down what Democrats create. It's their only guiding principle.
